Global Inc. business activities generate thousands of documents daily. Jill will find out about the tools available in the SAP system to browse the system and easily retrieve FI documents.

Jill already knows that there are different ways to display a posted document in the system. The accountant usually decides how to access the FI document in each case. It is good to know different access methods because the business transaction determines which method is the most effective.
For example, if an accountant just displayed an overview of the line items for a specific account on the screen, it would not be wise to write down the desired document number, switch to the app Manage Journal Entries, and then use this second app to display the document there. However, if a colleague gives her a document number and she is supposed to do her research on it, the Manage Journal Entries app is very helpful.
